Walter’s boogie jam track

Hi David and colleagues. can yoy help me find backing track exactly matching Walter's boogie from 'Cant keep lovin' you' album. Great if there is a basic free one, but I'd be ready to donate/purchase as well. Would like to make a simple recording over it for YouTube.
Here is the version I'm looking for: https://youtu.be/mBwrYHDp1aM
Thank you
Hello Alex. I am not aware of a jam track for this. Luckily, a special jam track is not needed. Here's how you can go about it...
Use the jam track (or any shuffle jam track of your choosing) from the Jimmy Reed Artist Study (or the original full-length version from Jimi Lee's jam track series, using the "Jimmy Reed Shuffle in E".)
Here are options of how to deal with the 8 bar intro...
1) Let four bars go by on the jam track, starting the intro on the IV. Ignore what the band is doing for 8 bars... you're just using those 8 bars as a way to play in time and be in the right place when the band gets to the next chorus (chorus 1 for you).
2) Let your jam track play for a little bit (4 beat intro) and then pause it right before the band comes in (bar 1). Play your intro at the same tempo and then hit play the very second you start the next chorus.
3) Use music editing software to cut and paste the opening clicks so that you have 8 bars, plus 1 bar more of clicks as a count-in for you.
